Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:34:39 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30426So because he is their only option he plays 55 minutes a night?

Just an FYI, just checked Giroux averages 21:35 of TOI while Malkin averages 21:01. Giroux plays a half minute more per night and has less points than Malkin.

Also, Malkin has played 37 games to Giroux’s 39.

Keep swinging.

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:28:12 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30424First off we all know that Malkin is terrible at faceoffs (Coming from a huge Malkin/Pens fan) has been since he entered the league, but I didn’t know that it was such an important stat, obviously much more important than points or goals. ~ Sarcasm

Vinny has only 4 seasons were he scored 75 or more points in his 13 seasons in the NHL. Malkin has the same seasons with more than 75 points (4) in only 5 seasons in the NHL. (Also, Malkin has scored more than 75 points in every season he has played so far in the NHL, except for last year in which he missed 41 games, or in other words half the season).

Not saying that Vinny is jealous but once both of their careers are over Malkin will by far have the better career.

Also at this rate if both players retire at age 35, and they both continue on their average points per season (Which will most likely not happen for Vinny as his time on ice is being reduced and also averaging in Malkins half season) Malkin will have 100 more points at the end of his career playing with second line minutes and with much less talent (Not including this year / Neal).

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:41:16 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30397Pens “fans” are so fickle, it’s comical. There isn’t a single Penguins blog not filled with delusional fandom in the comments section. Always a good laugh in these.

That being said, maybe Malkin was dodging the hit like a typical Russian, but Vinny believed it was another Nose Face Killer move. They started chattering on the ice and Malkin instigated the retaliation by staying on the ice and looking to draw a call. A call was made after a brief altercation, which worked in Pittsburgh’s favor. That is actually what happened on the ice. To add to the rediculous comments, Vinny also has multiple seasons with more points than Malkin will ever have and blasted him in the faceoff circles, so I’m pretty sure he isn’t “jealous.” But, I guess that’s how you think when you know nothing about hockey and don’t watch any other teams outside of the Penguins.

Good win by the Pens. They really showed Tampa how its done! ~ sarcasm

Malkin is great, the Pens are average. Why the kudos ‘roller-coaster’?

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:24:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30364They also have James Neal who has 24 goals this season. Malkin and Neal can do some serious damage. Tyler Kennedy scored 20 goals last season so he can always get hot and help the Pens win. They’re not completely out of it.

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:23:24 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30363You made have heard of James Neal, tied for 2nd with 24 goals this season. Also leading the league in power play goals. But Malkin is their only option right………?????

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 01:50:00 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30360Umm yeah considering the pens are 2-6 in their last 8 I don’t think they will be forgetting that 2 of the top players on the team are gone.

Also let’s not get to high on the malkin bandwagon the guy is the only option they have. Of course he will score more points than other players who may be better such as Sedin or giroux because they don’t get the ice time and also have other players who can put the puck in the net.

The only chance the pens have is for fleury to get super hot come playoff time

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:50:13 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=64304#comment-30353What was lost in this is that Malkin could have / should have had a fourth goal awarded – in a clear breakaway with an empty net the his stick was chopped from his hands. If the penalty for slashing is called there, the goal is automatically awarded.
